Starting Wegovy? Knowing the proper injection site is key for optimal absorption and minimizing discomfort. Don't just guess – let's break it down!
You have four primary options: your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. For your abdomen, choose a spot at least two inches away from your belly button. On your thigh, the front of your upper leg works best. For your upper arm, use the outer area.
Remember to rotate your injection site each week to prevent skin irritation. Clean the area with an alcohol swab before injecting. Avoid injecting into areas that are bruised, tender, or scarred. A little planning goes a long way! Rotating sites ensures better absorption and a more comfortable experience. If you're unsure, always consult with your doctor or pharmacist. They can provide personalized guidance and address any concerns. Happy injecting!
